A total of 41 peer-reviewed articles published between 2003 and 2023 were analyzed, revealing that CSR positively influences CS across including environmental, social, and financial dimensions. However, notable differences were found between SMEs and large enterprises in terms of CSR implementation mechanisms. While large enterprises rely on formal structures like corporate governance, SMEs demonstrate more diverse and informal approaches. The review also identified key research gaps: a lack of integrated, multidimensional analyses; limited comparisons of firm size; and an overreliance on subjective primary data. To address these limitations, more comprehensive, comparative, and data-driven studies are required. This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how CSR can enhance SMEs’ long-term sustainability and offers valuable directions for future research and practice.

The monitoring role by institutional investors is also expected to be able to align sustainability practices with the company’s financial objectives. The sample includes Malaysian companies listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia from 2015 to 2021, with a total observation of 256 companies. Data were collected from Refinitiv-Eikon Thomson Reuters. Findings indicated that higher corporate sustainability commitment (CSC) does associate with higher financial performance. In addition, the presence of institutional investors positively affects the financial performance of companies, however, weakens the effect of CSC on financial performance. This study provides insights for Malaysian regulators on the importance of sustainable practices toward value creation and achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Additionally, it provides insights from the perspectives of agency theory, by which companies can create better values when their commitment towards sustainability practices is monitored by the presence of institutional investors.
